"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." Maya Angelou

Knowing you're a work in progress is not about making excuses. It's about making a commitment to doing better each day. These hand-carved hearts have been intentionally left unfinished as a reminder of the progress you're making. Each heart is handmade from soapstone by fair trade artisans living in the Kisii region of Kenya. Hearts come in a set of six: one for you, and the rest for the people in your life who need a little encouragement! Hearts each measure about 2 inches wide, 2 inches long, and 1.5 inches deep. Exact measurements will vary.

  • Meaningful hearts
  • Set of 6 roughly carved hearts
  • Handmade from Kisii soapstone
  • Hearts measure about 2 x 2 x 1.5 inches
  • Fair trade, made in Kenya

Handcrafted: Artistically created by hand where beauty and imperfections go together wonderfully. Please accept and appreciate minor imperfections and variations which are true characteristics of this craft.
